Supporting Pelvic Balance Through Pregnancy
Taking care of your body during pregnancy matters, and chiropractic care throughout this time can help manage some of the physical changes that come with it. The Webster Technique is one way we work toward a more comfortable, better-supported pregnancy — it’s a specific chiropractic adjustment focused on reducing the effects of sacral misalignment, which may be a contributing factor in a more difficult labor for some patients. The adjustment is intended to support a well-balanced pelvis and optimal fetal positioning.
It’s worth clarifying the difference between this technique and breech-turning exercises, since the two are sometimes confused. Breech-turning is simply a set of physical exercises. The Webster Technique, by contrast, is an advanced chiropractic adjustment with a specific focus on the sacrum — a different kind of intervention altogether. Many patients report feeling better with regular chiropractic care both before and during pregnancy, though results vary by individual.
